[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ADB100:
Ahhhh......

I am at my whits end with this now :(

I seem to have narrowed it down to some sort of conflict with Windows Live & Communicator Mobile 2007 R2. From a soft reset Communictor will run fine. Communicator will also run fine if has been switched on and simply left for any period of time without starting any applications. However if Windows Live is started (either Messenger or the Windows Live application) then Communicator just locks the device up - The spinning coloured circle appears and just spins and you can't do anything on the device. The device appears to be working as the backlight comes on when you touch the screen, it just won't respond to any buttons.

I seem to have a new error as well now where Communicator will not start, the dialog box

I really need Communicator to work and I don't know what else to try. I have used a backup copy of my kitchen so anything I have added recently that I can't remember has now gone. I really don't know what else to try :confused:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ADB100:
Think I have fixed it....

Firstly thanks for all the help...... :rolleyes:

Secondly I think I have now fixed this. I decided to start from scratch and re-dump the official HTC WWE shipped ROM and rebuild my kitchen, adding the OEM packages, updated files and settings one by one to see which one causes Office Communicator Mobile 2007 R2 to stop working.

Anyway after a LOT (and I mean a LOT) or reflashing and playing around I think it is the SqlCeMobile 3.5 package (& SqlCeMobile_Lang_0409) that is causing the issue. In the official HTC 5.2.19212 ROM the SqlCeMobile package is version 3.0. At some point I replaced this package with the later SqlCeMobile 3.5 package (probably when I replaced .NetCF 2.0 for .NetCF 3.5). When I replaced the package I also re-moduled it and I think it was this re-moduling of it that was causing the issue. I have re-cooked the ROM and used the same SqlCeMobile package but have converted the modules to files and Communicator now appears to work OK every time.

Why it would work after a soft reset but then fail to start or lock up after Windows Live was run I have no idea? Anyway its working now :)

Hey everybody,

I've been looking for a phone to replace my Verizon Centro (I love the phone, but hate the OS), and my decision has come down to the HTC Titan and the Samsung i760 - I'm pretty sure y'all can tell I'm on a budget with this. Anyways, I found a Titan on eBay with the GPS patched, upgraded to WinMo 6.5, and has is set so tethering the phone with a laptop and using it as a modem won't cost extra. I've also found one that's dirt cheap but without any patches.

Now, I've been searching the forums and found out how to do the first two. Those seem easy enough as long as I'm patient. I can not, however, find out how to deal with the tethering issue. I've tried all the search options and I haven't found it. I'm hoping someone can point me to a thread or site that talks about it.

Lastly, I'd also like to ask you all your opinions of the phone itself. It seems to have gotten good reviews, but I'd like to hear from people who actually know what their phone can do.

Thanks for your time and any help you can give me.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Glitchezz:
i just got the phone...this reply wont be of much help but i really like it...

i like the office programs and the wifi..

bit on the heavy side but quality!

hope someone can be of more use!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] btonetbone:
I've had mine for about a year and really like it. It has a lot of features that were pretty ahead of its time that are still considered high-end:

stereo bluetooth, gps, touch screen, wi-fi, camera w/ flash

After unlocking it, putting on custom ROMs and enabling aGPS, this phone will make most people happy. The biggest drawback (and this should not be overlooked) is that it only has 64MB of RAM. That's pretty meager for an otherwise very powerful phone, and causes it to lag sometimes. Running multiple programs can sometimes grind your phone to a halt. Even with that said, I love my phone and would recommend it...primarily to someone who is not afraid to be proactive about flashing your phone or being judicious with installed programs.

I would also recommend buying the "unpatched" phone. Learning how to unlock and flash will get you pretty intimate with how you phone works and why. It'll help you out in the long run, especially if something ever goes wrong. Plus, it's not terribly difficult.

And for the tethering issue, try to get your hands on the latest version of WMWifiRouter before it became a paid program. I think it's v 0.92. It turns your phone into a wireless router that shares your data connection over wifi. I use it all the time and it is fantastic.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] dwizzy130:
Couldn't have said it better. I had my Titan for about a year aswell and it finally died when it feel out of my buddies truck. Luckily I had Sprint TEP so I got a Touch Pro for free. I loved my Titan though, even with the lack of ram, I was able to do anything I needed to do. I would also suggest you buy the un-patched one. Learning to do the things yourself will help you alot in the long run.

I have attached a cab of WMWifiRouter that was mentioned in the previous post and the internet sharing fix as well. Also, if you do get it, check out my site http://dwizzy130.webs.com/ to see some of the very lite on ram themes I have made that all work on the Titan.

If you have anymore questions, you can pm me or get my email on the contact me page of my site.

I hope this helps you make a decision,

[Mogul, XV6800 General] MrPenguin_2:
Thanks for your help guys! I decided to take your advice go with the unpatched one. Believe it or not, I was able to pick it up for $65, and it included the box and everything that came with it. Now I get to spend the next 4 days obsessing over when it will get here.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] btonetbone:
Good choice, and hope you enjoy your phone!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] moblues:
Great choice! After you have activated and got the phone working on its stock version be sure to copy down all the info in your Start > Settings > System Tab > Device Information. This will be helpful later if you get in a jam, and then start flashing away using the SD-memory card method. It's just faster and easier!

As for ROM choices, you'll get varying opinions but I mostly like my phone as a PHONE first and then as a Contact/Calendar PIM second, and then everything else considered. Which is why the DCD ROM's are my favorite because it's fast and leaves me with plenty of memory to install only apps that I intend to use!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] MrPenguin_2:
Hey everybody, it's me again. Well, my phone is supposed to arrive tomorrow, and I've got most of the files downloaded and ready to go. All I need now is a ROM to flash it with. I've spent several hours looking around, so my question now is: would flashing to 6.5 be worth it (I've read quite a bit about the memory leaks), or should I go with dcd's titan ROM 3.3.4 for 6.1? Thanks again!

Htc 6800 rules

Hi,

I got hooked on the 6700 (Apache) back when Qwerst was had cheapest data plan, $15.

When I had issues with the functionallity of the unit, they sent me the 6800.

I found PPC Kitchen to be the most straight-foreward and fully selectable kitchen.

Just keep in mind that some of the apps that you choose, will cause other apps to become un-available. Like AdvancedConfig, (I select it first, then I can add other apps & it will not become un-selectable, unlike finding it later in the list, after selecting other apps).

There is also a program called "QPST".

This is important to copy the information from the phone while it is stock.

If your unit comes with Windows Mobile 6.1, get it setup with your carrier first, that way CustServ. Can walk you through setting up connections on your phone.

Any way there are very many helpful people using the fourms, with verry useful information, so enjoy your experience with the XDA & PPC Kitchen & don't forget PPC Geeks too.

Feel free to pm me.

Hi

after installing Massimo's Colored Top Bar on the TD2, the Single Volume option does not work any more. Ring Volume and System Volume can only be adjusted separately.

Will there be a fix available? I like the colored icons very much, but I also like the Single Volume option... :rolleyes:

The attached file has the single volume control with colored volume icons, they are different from what you need, but still they are coloured with the single control.

Just copy the file to your Windows file. If you cannot overright the current one, first rename the old file then copy the new one. You need a file explorer other than original one. Like Resco or Total Commander.

I just tried to install the HTC Coloured Top bar.cab after updating to Windows Mobile 6.5 earlier. Now when I reboot I get the error message

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angenoir66:
Hi there,

I'm wondering the same thing.

I've tried to create a bashrc

(/.bashrc ; /system/etc/bash.bashrc ; /root/.bashrc ) But none is working.

I'm about to try a different way,

I've cp /system/bin/sh to /system/bin/sh1

then I'll try to replace /system/bin/sh by a shell script that will launch my aliases then sh1

Something like:

#!/system/bin/sh1
alias lsa='ls -Alh '
[...]
/system/bin/sh1

But i'm not pretty sure It could work properly. Firstly because I remember a gain-super-user manipulation that requires to copy and modify rights on sh. (but it could be ok if the script and the copy of sh have the same rights).

Secondly, because I'm not really OK with this; When I'll remove /system/bin/sh in order to replace it, I'll have no shell for a time (if it crashes, I'll not be able to use sh anymore, even with adb).

So if anybody have an other solution it could be damn cool :)

Thank you all

EDIT: I've just tried this. It's ok, I've not lost my shell, but the modifications (one alias, and a path export), are not applied.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
There is no such file. In fact, the default shell is sh, not bash.

However, there is a solution. Read my post in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=518959

That is interesting. I'll have to try it. I assume it won't work with ADB? Or am I wrong (please say yes)?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
I would have thought that it would work with adb, but when I try this:

adb shell /path/to/bash --rcfile /path/to/bashrc

it seems that its a 1-way shell...

well you can always run bash after connecting....

adb shell

/path/to/bash --rcfile /path/to/bashrc

Alternatively, with a little bit of craftiness, you may be able to replace the sh binary with a script that runs bash.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shafty023:
The best way, and what a lot of the ROM devs are doing now is putting a check/call to /system/init.rc and /data/init.rc so we can add our own customizations. This would include boot time chmod/chowns or aliases if need be. Hell we could put a call to /etc/.profile if we wanted and put all our aliases in there. But we can't do any of that till ROM devs put that call in boot.img->boot.ramdisk->init.rc
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alanthehat:
Android's default shell /system/bin/sh is a link to mksh in the same directory. It reads /system/etc/mkshrc & ~/.mkshrc

I think it also reads ~/.profile & /etc/profile but I'm not sure & I don't know what order.

See https://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm for the documentation.

Also worth noting is that most, if not all, shells read /etc/profile & ~/.profile so anything in there should be very general.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elfaure:
Yes there is

Edit /system/etc/mkshrc. You can add your aliases there after the defaults. Type 'alias' from the terminal to see the default aliases that are defined in this file. I believe this file is the master, and when a shell is envoked, the mksh command pipes a hidden copy of this file into the users home directory as .mkshrc for the terminal session.

Also, this is the file to edit to append to your $PATH.

You need to manually edit the mksh file and add your command in for it to persistently work.

Just running the command below will work but will be wiped on reboot.

alias test1='date'

If you need it to stay persistent over reboots manually edit /system/etc/mkshrc

## Adding the test0 alias via file editing:
taimen:/ # test0
Wed Aug 5 13:09:46 GMT 2020

## Adding test1 alias via command line:
taimen:/ # alias test1='date'
taimen:/ # test1
Wed Aug 5 13:10:06 GMT 2020

## Reboot Device
taimen:/ # reboot

## Check for persistant changes:
taimen:/ # test0
Wed Aug 5 13:04:24 GMT 2020
taimen:/ # test1
/system/bin/sh: test1: not found

Example file that I used:

# Copyright (c) 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014

# This file is provided under the same terms as mksh.

Copy the icon file (extract it from the sync.zip file) to the windows directory of your pda.

Step 2: Windows Mobile Device Center - Reinstall DriverNow that the ICON file is on the device, we need to reinstall the device driver so that WMDC will see it.

1. Make sure the device is synced and connected to your PC. You need an active connection so that Windows Vista sees your handheld device.

2. Go to the Control Panel.

3. Switch the Control Panel to the "Classic View" in the upper left hand corner of the Control Panel windows.

4. Open Device Manager.

5. Click the small "+" in front of "Portable Devices"

6. Right click on "Pocket PC" or "Windows Mobile Device" or "Smartphone" or similar.

7. Click Uninstall

8. Choose OK when prompted about Uninstalling the device.

9. The Device Manager will flash a time or two, and the device will no longer show up on the Portable Devices list.

10. Remove your Device from the computer.

11. Wait a good 30 seconds to 1 minute and then dock (connect) your device to the computer again.

12. Your computer will now be installing the device once again.

13. Open Windows Mobile Device Center, and you should now see your ICON on the left hand side (see picture below), and you have not lost any details of your partnership.

Sometimes the wmdc shows your old picture if that is the case copy the icon file to this directory:

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles\[some strange code like 8ae71abe]

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] HarryTheSatman:
Same here. I have my Jasjar on WM5, original ROM (se signature). I am not sure how to do a roll-back in case the flashing goes wrong or just in the event I want my old setup back.

I use Spb Backup to make full backups from my PDA, and store them on my memory card. A long time ago, I needed to send in my Jasjar to the phoen company. They needed to give it an upgrade to fix a bug, iow a new ROM. Once I got it back I did a restore of all data and programs, but this seemed also to have overwritten the ROM again. Or am I just babling now?

Anyway, I would like to try the latest stable WM6 for 64mb Unis, and am preparing myself for the worst. Reason for upgrading is that I find it interesting to read on the forum that the free RAM is more then 20 Mb. Compared to what I have now, this could be the perfect alternative for upgrading to 128 Mb. I have close to none free space for installing aps that can not be installed on the SD (installation in RAM required). WM6 seems to be the solution then.

About a roll-back procedure: will executing my backup.exe do a roll-back after a succesfull flash? What if all fails?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] rajivshahi:
Well if the flashing fails then you can try flashing with another rom....

the chances of getting unsucessful flasing is pretty low and even if the flashing goes bad you can do doc format and reflash again.... but sure all your important files are in your sd card and do a back of your data.....:D:D:D:D

To go to your original rom you have to flash with original shipped rom.... i bet you'd wanna go back after tasting the great roms here.:D:D:D:D:D
